Does anyone use this heater? http://www.ruralking.com/cozy-chicken-coop-heater.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=CO7flvHR9tACFdGCswodD7cI3g Live in New Hampshire. Tractor type coop and pen are inside a larger shed for the winter. Nothing insulated but no wind can get in. Do I really...

Because it is a positive/negative fencing you do not need a ground rod. You connect the energizer red lead to red connection on fence and green one to green connection on fence. Working great all around at 6000 volts.

I figured it out. No grounding rod needed as the fence is positive/negative. I hooked both alligator clips to the fence .

No. I don't think so. Grass cut very short

I just put up Kencove poultry netting positive/negative. Tested energizer with fence tester, all good. How do I test the actual netting with the tester because it does not appear to be energized. I brush my hand against it in several places and no shock. Help!

Will foxes and other digging predators dig under this type of electric fence?

4 1/2 weeks. New coop and pvc feeder I made.

I have 2 auracana and 4 barred rock that are now 4 weeks old. I would like to move them out to the outside coop. I use an Eco Glow heater in the box inside. I live in New Hampshire. They would be put outside into a tractor style coop and yard fenced in. I could put the eco glow into the outside...

I have one and have been using it for 4 weeks. The chicks are big enough now to have it the highest level. It worked excellent!

Our day 2 day old chicks. Two Araucana and two Barred Rock.

First timer here. Getting 2 New Hampshire Reds, 2 Ameraucanas and 2 Barred Rock for a total of 6. How many nest boxes should I have for these layers?
